Same here, finally downloaded the PDFs but could not get them to work too.
But this might help:
R-Codes – The common name for the residential housing density codes, which describe the average land area required for the construction of a dwelling on a block of land. The R-codes are often referred by property developers who are considering the redevelopment potential of a property. To calculate the land areas applying to each R-code simply divide the number 10,000 by the R-code. For instance, an R-20 zoning, which is common in Perth, would require 500 square metres of land area for each dwelling.
I finally found some information from the WAPC website, but the PDF downloads of the documents were excruciatingly slow…

congratulations on your purchase. I will be in your precious situation soon when I start to look for a property in Perth…
Enjoy your new home!
I am looking at this as my private property.
We have looked at various suburbs and house layouts and feel that with the cost of some of the existing, we might be better off building on a good plot of land and getting a smaller home (we agreed that don’t need that big a house).
JKM – Looks like there are many other things to consider…wonder if it would be worth the time and money to build…are all those things you mentioned compulsory for a home?
